Abstract
In 2001, the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) published the White Paper 'Schools: achieving success' within which the Government pledged to ensure thatover time, evey primary school child who wanted to would have the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument. To deliver this commitment robust, current, data base was required which could be used to provide a baseline for wider opportunities in primary music, prepare the way for changes in Music Standards Fund allocations, enable national benchmarks to be established and complement the Music Services' Guidance as a tool for self-evaluation, development and target-setting.
